Without putting *any* blame on infra, I think that explains why no startup

startup needs to build its own infra from scratch as fast as possible.
Replying to this even thought it also applies to earlier comments on infra not using
Fedora being depressing, and also the "eat one's own dog food" comment. A
while ago Apple opened a big data center, and some Apple users were pretty depressed to
see a lot of job openings for sysadmins were for RHEL, some for Solaris, and not so many
for OS X. Use the right tool for the job, no more or less. I don't think it's
inherently a problem if Fedora infrastructure isn't running Fedora. The question is if
the community really wants to revisit ready to setup, use, and easy to maintain systems
compared to current Fedora, and Windows and OS X.
If the Fedora project intends to promote instead a
Fedora+something_else
mix, where is this mix documented (for startup creators to find) and what
exactly is the Fedora project doing to ensure this mix works well?
Fair and interesting question.
If the something_else is composed of third-party services that
primarily
target other desktops, who is going to believe replacing them with Fedora
is a good idea?
Once it's the best tool for the job, it's the sales department's job to
address this.
